I estimated the visual mag (G-channel) was 9.83, based on comparison stars from Tycho catalogue.
The exact time image was taken is Oct 26.42045 UT, so it is only 26min 43sec prior to reported discovery... but still, I was there first
I have only one frame, it was taken during aiming the camera to M17.. it is not on the stack taken a bit later, of course.
